‘We believe in what the protesters are fighting for’Silverstone worked alongside police to beef up security
Lewis Hamilton has said he would support a peaceful protest by the Just Stop Oil group at this weekend’s British Grand Prix. Environmental activists are targeting a swathe of sporting events and strongly expected to take action at Silverstone and the seven-time world champion, who has expressed sympathy with their cause in the past, believed they had a valid point to make.
On Wednesday campaigners disrupted two tennis matches at Wimbledon and also did so on the first day of the Lord’s Ashes test. The organisers of the British Grand Prix have already warned they are planning the weekend with the expectation of disruption at Silverstone.
